Verse 1:

D          A               D
New Years Day, I'm all alone
         G
No one's calling to come over
D                   F#7
Dirty dishes in the sink
G                 Gm             D
Last year's filth still stuck on me
           A              D
I sent a letter to a friend
             G                D
I'm wishing you all of my best
             F#7                 G
I hope that one day you'll forgive me
           Gm           B
Then I'll forgive myself

[Chrous]

       D           F#       G
The hardest part of getting sober
Bm    D      F#         G
Is pouring yourself out of the bottle

D     A     D
No one to blame
     G         D
The problem is me
    F#7      G
I quit drinking
        Gm            D
But I'm still swallowing

I'm still swallowing


Verse 2:

D          A           D
Make a list of resolutions
          G             D
I'll decide just who I am
         F#7             G
And even if I don't keep them
           Gm            D
At least I'm setting the intention
             A            D
The future's coming into view
            G                  D
Won't give the past what I've got left
            F#7             G
In one year's time on this same day
           Gm             B
I swear to God I will be changed
